[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This PCBA-based trigger signal electronic lock integrates the unlocking signal area, mechanical switch signal area, and locking signal area onto the PCBA board. Furthermore, it integrates the translation drive assembly, PCBA board, and other components into a single design within the electronic lock housing. By using PCBA contact with a spring contact instead of a traditional tactile switch, the electronic lock becomes smaller and narrower, allowing for a smaller and more convenient charging gun. Additionally, if the unlocking block is pressed down and jammed, the translation drive assembly can move the unlocking block to the left to reset it. Furthermore, an emergency unlocking button allows for manual unlocking. Pressing and pushing the unlocking block to the left resets it, serving as an emergency unlocking mechanism. This prevents the unlocking block from jamming when the gun is touched and pulled out. Furthermore, by incorporating waterproof silicone rings one and two, it protects against rain, ice, and dust in severe weather conditions such as rain or freezing. It also prevents the locking and emergency unlocking buttons from freezing and becoming inaccessible. The integrated design improves upon the separate mechanical switch and electronic lock designs found in other products on the market, avoiding issues such as high precision requirements for the electric gun hook installation, deformation and damage to the charging gun hook, and poor waterproof and anti-icing performance that lead to malfunctions in the charging gun.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] Please see Figures 1-5 A PCBA-based trigger signal type electronic lock includes an electronic lock base shell 1 and an electronic lock top cover 2 fixed to its upper end. A locking button 3 is movably inserted through the right side of the electronic lock top cover 2. Springs 17 are connected on both sides of the lower end of the locking button 3 and the inner bottom end of the electronic lock base shell 1. A translation drive assembly is installed on the left side inside the electronic lock base shell 1. A switch spring A13 is fixed to the upper part of the translation drive assembly. The translation drive assembly includes a motor 10, a screw 11, and an unlocking block 12. The motor 10 and... The electronic lock base shell 1 is fixedly installed. The screw 11 is connected to the output end of the motor 10. The unlocking block 12 is slidably connected to the right side inside the electronic lock base shell 1. The screw 11 and the unlocking block 12 are threadedly connected. The switch spring A13 is embedded and fixed on the upper end of the unlocking block 12. The motor 10 can drive the screw 11 to rotate. As the screw 11 and the unlocking block 12 are threadedly engaged, the unlocking block 12 can move left and right inside the electronic lock base shell 1. At the same time, the unlocking block 12 drives the switch spring A13 to move left and right.

[0019] An emergency unlock button 5 is movably inserted through the right side of the electronic lock bottom shell 1. The left side of the emergency unlock button 5 is connected to the right side of the unlocking block 12. When the unlocking block 12 moves left and right, it can also drive the emergency unlock button 5 to move left and right at the same time. By pressing the emergency unlock button 5, the unlocking block 12 can be pushed to the left, and the screw 11 can rotate at this time.

[0020] A socket terminal 7 is fixed to the lower left side of the electronic lock base 1. A socket 9 is inserted into the upper part of the socket terminal 7. A PCBA board 8 is fixed to the upper end of the socket 9. The PCBA board 8 is fixed to the lower end of the electronic lock top cover 2. An unlocking signal area 14 is provided on the lower right side of the PCBA board 8. A locking signal area 18 is provided on the lower end of the PCBA board 8 and to the right of the unlocking signal area 14. The switch spring A13 slides in contact with the unlocking signal area 14 and the locking signal area 18. When locking, the motor 10 drives the screw 11 to push the unlocking block 1 to the right. 2. When the switch spring A13 embedded in the unlocking block 12 moves to the locking signal area 18 and sends a locking signal, the unlocking block 12 is driven to move below the locking button 3 and lock, so that the locking button 3 cannot be pressed down. When unlocking, the motor 10 drives the screw 11 to retract the unlocking block 12 in the opposite direction. When the switch spring A13 embedded in the unlocking block 12 moves to the unlocking signal area 14 and sends an unlocking signal, the unlocking block 12 disengages from the locking button 3, so that the locking button 3 can be pressed down to complete the unlocking. At the same time, the unlocking button of the charging gun can move up and down freely to send a signal.

[0021] A mechanical switch signal area 16 is located at the lower end of the PCBA board 8 and in front of the lock signal area 18. A switch spring B15 is located below the mechanical switch signal area 16. The first end of the switch spring B15 is embedded and fixed to the PCBA board 8, and the second end of the switch spring B15 is connected to the lock button 3. The top of the switch spring B15 contacts the mechanical switch signal area 16. When the lock button 3 cannot be pressed down, it pushes the switch spring B15 upwards, making it tightly press against the mechanical switch signal area 16, maintaining the mechanical switch signal emitted by the mechanical switch signal area 16. When the unlock button of the charging gun is pressed, causing the lock button 3 to be pressed, the switch spring B15 will separate from the mechanical switch signal area 16, disconnecting the signal. This integrates the unlock signal area 14, the mechanical switch signal area 16, and the lock signal area 18. The translation drive assembly and PCBA board 8 are integrated into the electronic lock housing, making the electronic lock smaller and narrower. This allows for a smaller and more convenient charging gun. In the event that the unlocking block 12 is pressed down and jammed, the translation drive assembly can move the unlocking block 12 to the left to reset it. An emergency unlocking button 5 can be manually pressed and pushed to move the unlocking block 12 to the left to reset it, serving as an emergency unlocking function. This prevents the unlocking block 12 from jamming when the gun is touched and pulled out. The integrated design improves upon the separate mechanical switch and electronic lock design in the market. Furthermore, by using PCBA and spring contact instead of traditional tactile switches, it avoids problems such as high installation accuracy requirements for the electric gun hook, deformation and damage to the charging gun hook, and poor waterproof and anti-icing performance that lead to malfunctions of the charging gun.

[0022] The locking button 3 is fitted with a waterproof silicone ring 4, the lower end of which is tightly attached to the upper end of the electronic lock top cover 2. The emergency unlocking button 5 is fitted with a waterproof silicone ring 6, which is embedded and fixed to the bottom shell 1 of the electronic lock. By setting the waterproof silicone rings 4 and 6, the locking button 3 and the emergency unlocking button 5 can be protected from rain, ice, and dust in rainy or freezing weather, and can also prevent the locking button 3 and the emergency unlocking button 5 from freezing and becoming unpressable.
